# Compound operators constructed with binomial and Sheffer sequences

## Abstract

In this note we consider a general compound approximation operator using binomial sequences and we give a representation for its corresponding remainder term. We also introduce a more general compound approximation operator using Sheffer sequences. We provide convergence theorems for both studied operators
